I can't get t mine either but I think they were originally light cream, 
but not bright white.

I suspect that most photos have it as yellowish because that's what they 
are now :-)

The black bits I remember as black.


I remember the tube colour being green, I think I remember seeing amber 
and I believe that white was an available option.
